Search New Reg CF Funding Portals Emerge as Funding Cap is Poised to Jump from $1.07 Million to $5 Million March 10, 2021 @ 1:09 pm By JD Alois The number of FINRA regulated funding portals continues to move higher in advance of the increase in the funding cap of Regulation Crowdfunding (Reg CF). On March 15, 2020, it is expected that issuers will be able to raise $5 million using Reg CF – a significant increase from its current $1.07 million funding cap. Last year, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved a host of updates to the securities crowdfunding ecosystem. You may review all of these changes here. The headline change was enabling issuers to raise $5 million in capital under the Reg CF exemption. This increase has been embraced by both issuers and platforms as smaller firms will now have the opportunity to more easily raise the capital they need instead of the anemic million dollar amount that frequently falls short for a seed round. Platforms are expected to see renewed interest in the exemption and one industry insider predicts that Reg CF funding should top one billion in funding in 2021 due to these changes.
